Since 1980 the rates of obesity in North America have quadrupled! What has changed to make these numbers soar? Dr. Martin says it’s because they changed the sugar. In the 1980s, high fructose corn syrup was approved for use in food. They went from a glucose to a fructose because it crystalizes well, it’s inexpensive, and very addictive. Dr. Martin says the food industry knew exactly what they were doing. They essentially liquified sugar and now it goes directly to your liver. This is bad news! Dr. Martin also responds to some unanswered questions from the last Q&A session. He answers questions about vitamin D with K2, diabetics with high A1C, varicose veins, coconut milk, apple cider vinegar, and more in today’s episode.
